Who's the most dominant force in the fighting game league? Technically speaking.

Well it certainly used to be Zangief, but now I'm tempted to say Asteroth, based upon pure games popularity (over here at least) and the fact that he has the best range of any big guy.

Big A is a terror on low and mid skill Soul Calibur players, you can get around all his shit, but if you make a mistake, it's over.

A big part of it is complexity. Asteroth doesn't need to throw around full-circle motions or multi-input grapple moves to get the job done. Big A just doesn't have to work

My top 5 would probably be:

1) Zangief (SFA3)
2) Astaroth (SC2)
3) Hugo (III3rd)
4) Tizoc (MotW)
5) Gaira (SS3)

Wolf gets a big "hell yeah" from me. He has the best array of throws and grapples, coupled with an excellent bank of punches and kicks, make him a fantastic allround fighter.

His new F5, punch combos and combo throws are going to be icing on the cake.

^w^
 
Wolf all the way. He was teh most powerful grappler I ever used in EVO, and he looks even more juiced up in Final Tuned. He's too good.

Even though he's in a beat 'em up, I'll choose Max anyway. You know, the big guy in Streets of Rage 2. I've finished the game countless times, and used Max 99 % of the times. He rocks!

That backbreaker was too damn good. Only character I can beat the game with in Mania.

Oh yeah forgot to give props to Earthquake! One of the original 'take up the whole screen' guys. Anyone that predates him in a fighter?

I wholeheartedly agree!

Earthquake easily wins this entire contest.
